2024 Colorado Healthcare Ethics Forum (CHEF) ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

The 2024 Colorado Healthcare Ethics Forum annual conference will explore healthcare equity, focusing on difficult ethical challenges and solutions that advance the fair and just delivery of healthcare to under-served and underrepresented populations. Addressing healthcare disparities requires a multi-faceted approach, including policy changes, increased cultural humility in healthcare delivery, improved access to education and preventive services, and efforts to address health-related social needs. Identifying and recognizing the interconnected nature of these disparities will allow providers to work towards equitable healthcare for all people in a manner that aligns with professional and institutional values.

Objectives:

Participants will increase their understanding of ethical problems and solutions concerning healthcare equity, including but not limited to ethical issues arising from:
a. economic barriers to accessing health services and healthcare insurance;
b. racial, cultural, and linguistic bias and discrimination in healthcare;
c. gender bias and discrimination in healthcare;
d. citizenship and nationality bias and discrimination in healthcare;
e. ability-related bias and discrimination in healthcare.

Until recently, people with disability have historically been excluded from equity and diversity conversations in healthcare. This has perpetuated the long standing, structural ableist conditions in our healthcare system and society. The presentation will include examples of how historical ableist views are present in today' healthcare setting and teams, and the initial steps needed to advance equitable and just healthcare for people with disabilities.

Objectives:

1. Define the social model of disability and its role in understanding and addressing ableism in healthcare.
2. Identify actions healthcare teams can take to ensuring equitable and just delivery of care to patients with disabilities.
